Content warning: there is brief mention and description of sexual assault in this story.
This was such a fun, lighthearted read that was just what I needed to get me out of a reading slump. I found myself rooting for the characters throughout (especially Rome!) and loved the way the non-linear timeline really helped create an understanding of Aspen and Rome’s relationship. From the second I read about the night when their relationship started, I couldn’t put the book down because I wanted to know how their story ended. It was fun to watch the characters grow up and become more mature, as they learned how to balance the demands of Aspen’s celebrity status with Rome’s tendency to be more private. The ending really just made me happy and I finished the story with a smile on my face!
The songs that were paired with each chapter were a fun little extra, given Aspen’s music career. They would make an awesome playlist!
Thanks to NetGalley and the published for gifting me an ARC of this book!
